I got an email about this as well. As far as understand the company sells membership to an ‘exclusive network’, which in turn allows you to ‘get rich’.
The two men involved in XL Results Foundation run a website eacademy - which is an online networking community. I’m assuming that is what you pay money for.
Some of the Singapore complaints say that the “exclusive network” is just not there and a lot of the contacts can be found on LinkedIn.

The email I received has this additional information:
A Brisbane company that is accused an illegal pyramid scheme will be in Perth on the 21st June to promote and sell a life membership to join its global business network.

Mr Paul Dunn who is facing allegations of criminal activity with his Singapore business partner Roger Hamilton (formerly of Singapore now based in Bali) will be at The Duxton Hotel, St Georges Terrace on Thursday 21st June at 7.30am website www.resultsnetaustralia.com and promoting the USD $9,000 memberships.

The XL Results Foundation Head Office in Singapore is facing refund requests from the Asian Business Community of more than USD$1 million. Several hundred people have requested their money back after they claim they were duped by Mr Roger Hamilton. The company is now agressively selling in Perth before further media reports appear and the scheme is exposed.

Hi Linda,

I’m amazed you’re still at this!!

For anyone reading this, the blogger who posted this (”Alex Lowe”) is a fictitious person whose name has been used in bogus Yahoo emails for over two years against XL, and details can be found at http://www.xlresultsfoundation-legal-file.com/

The ‘Asia Pacific Community Petition’ and the Brisbane Times article is the result of the same alarmist nonsense. I’m assuming both the blogger and the first response from “Bronwen” are posted by the same person as all the accusations are the same unsubstantiated silliness. I’m sure the blogger could prove me wrong by posting his / her real name and details and I would welcome that! Otherwise I don’t think anyone’s interested in more outrageous claims by more fictitious names.

In the meantime, I would invite all interested parties to contact John Abbott who runs XL in Perth. You can see all upcoming events and the great work that XL does at http://www.resultsfoundation.com.

I was in Perth last month and LOVED the energy of all the XL Life Members who I met. The work you are doing is an inspiration. This weekend I’m in the Gold Coast with over 300 XL Life Members, Paul Dunn (who is an extraordinary individual) and Roger Hamilton (who also is but then I’m biased as he’s my husband).

Love & Light,
Renate Hamilton

Mr Paul Dunn, Australian licencee of XL Results Foundation.

To correct you.  Mr Roger Hamilton of XL Results Foundation is the Plaintiff and the aggressor in a long running litigation case. 

Why would Mr Hamilton who labels himself as a benevolent entrepreneur and
Asia’s Leading Wealth Consultant gag a former employee since 2004? 

This individual has never been able to speak out publicly against a barrage of slurs, viciousness, intimidation and lies, a campaign that you have taken part in.   

In public legal documents the former employee expressed concern the company was a scam cheating Singaporean’s and Australian’s.    

Could this actually be true?  But you know all this don’t you Mr Dunn?

Your one of the Plaintiffs with Mr Hamilton on the legal action in
Singapore.  

The company is facing allegations it is operating an illegal pyramid scheme with its source of income the recruitment of members into the scheme.  You yourself have boasted you have recruited 700 members in
Australia already. 

You say people trust you.  Have you been forthcoming on the status of the legal action in
Singapore and that you are also named along with Mr Hamilton attempting to protect this business operation? And that over 100 Singaporean’s claimed they were duped and cheated?

Would any Australian buy a Life Membership if they knew any of this Mr Dunn?

Any individual or journalist who wishes to do due diligence can email for a copy of the public court document which discloses this. This document was accepted by the Singaporean Court in its entirety.

RETRACTION OF ALLEGATIONS AGAINST ROGER HAMILTON AND XL RESULTS FOUNDATION

XL Results Foundation are pleased to announce a positive outcome to the recent legal case related to various allegations against Roger Hamilton and XL. These claims are similar to those found on interrelated and inter-referencing blogs posted on ripoffreport.com, complaintsboard.com, hotscams.com and businessesfromhell.com along with other blogs and anonymous emails sent to our members and partners over the last three years.

On March 24th 2008, Linda Ruck, the defendant in the legal case that XL brought regarding many negative and untrue claims against the company, signed a full written confirmation, retraction & undertaking by a consent court order in the Singapore Subordinate Courts.

The undertaking includes:

A confirmation that she has been involved in approaching via email, and/or otherwise including postings on internet forums, blogs, websites and other means, various parties including the media, consumer groups, our members and partners.

An unreserved retraction of her allegations against Roger Hamilton, XL, and XL stakeholders and an unconditional acceptance that these are untrue and/or inaccurate. The retracted allegations range from claims of illegal activities, no money going to charity, misappropriation of funds, criminal investigations, fraudulent conduct and a withdrawal of her claim on pyramid sales – which are similar to all the claims found on the various emails and blogs.

An undertaking not to conduct or continue with any ongoing campaign against Roger and XL (through herself, anonymously or otherwise) and not to spam, blog or communicate with XL Members, XL stakeholders or the media to make negative comments about XL.

An undertaking to cease harassing XL, its members, partners and associated parties.

XL is glad to put the legal conclusion of this chapter behind itself and to have received vindication against all the claims that have been made through the Singapore Court System.

The posting by XL Results Foundation is classic text book behavior of a scam.

Scams protest their innocence, litigatious and mired in controversy. They spread lies, bully critics, attempt to suppress negative media and complaints and will go to extreme measures to mislead and confuse the community to keep the scam alive.

A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling people into the scheme.

The distinguishing feature of these schemes is the fact that the product being sold has little to no intrinsic value of its own or is sold at a price out of line with its fair market value. The costs for these “products” can range up into the hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Pyramid schemes create no wealth they only move existing wealth.

The key identifiers of a pyramid scheme include:

• A highly excited pressured sales pitch.
• A reassurance that it is not in fact a pyramid scheme, possibly with a false account of what a pyramid scheme is.
• Little to no information offered about the company unless an investor purchases the products and becomes a participant.
• No product, or a product being sold at a price ridiculously in excess of its real market value. As with the company, the product is vaguely described.
• An income stream that chiefly depends on the commissions earned by enrolling new members or the purchase by members of products for their own use rather than sales to customers who are not participants in the scheme.
• A tendency for only the early investors/joiners to make any real income.
• Assurances that it is perfectly legal to participate.

The FTC also warns that the practice of getting commissions from recruiting new members is outlawed as “pyramiding.”[9].

The scale of harm is enormous, with millions of dollars stolen. Perpetrators use trickery, loopholes in laws and psychological manipulation.

The disguises, rationalizations and defenses have a similar ring. Perpetrators claim they are uplifting people, creating new opportunity, and teaching a new and better way to live and prosper.

As in all such abuses of the past, huge amounts of money are spread to peddle influence, stave off regulation, and maintain the false portrayal of legitimacy. Critics are vilified and threatened with lawsuits as “anti-business” and “losers.”

The element of the pyramid scheme that has the most in common with past abuses is its appeal to economic justification. Deceptive practices which take money from millions of unwitting people and enrich a small group of promoters and perpetrators are defended as “legitimate business, ” helping to build the economy, employ people, and provide economic opportunity.

As an increasing amount of people are scammed the company will come to the attention of the media and authorities.

The promoter cannot raise money fast enough to keep the scam alive and the scam will collapse. Pyramid schemes are illegal

Individuals who have been cheated by Roger Hamilton and XL Results Foundation are advised to contact the Department of Fair Trade.
